Our newly improved and modern establishment, fully _
equipped, enables us to promptly fill orders of Pi. extent, —
and certain, in an approved manner. ;

An established reliability and experience, here, in the
exacting cut flower trade, gives assurance that orders will “
be properly filled, and as ordered. It is conceded that we f
excel in arrangements of flowers suited to special uses. Com-
petitors may imitate, but they do not, in any strict sense,
follow. The necessity of entrusting orders for fine flowers ;
and designs only to florists of known taste and se is
evident. $s K

Quality is our aim, yet not made at undue cost. Buyers
may rely on getting full value for their outlay each and “a
every time. me ;

This Catalogue illustrates floral effects for funeral
occasions, listed in many sizes, with prices. All necessary \
ordering details are given complete. The pictures are from e
photographic reproductions of actual made-up designs in —
fresh flowers, so the character of the blooms employed is ~
accurately shown, also the important essential of ne a
appearance of finished work.
